BY ASIA AIKINS Palatka Daily News State Department of Education offi- cials will determine this week if area schools are in compliance with state class size standards. Middleton-Burney Elementary School in Crescent City was found out of compliance with state class size standards during an October survey, as the average pre-kindergarten through third-grade class size was 1.32 students over the 18-student cap. “A lot of times, for instance, you’ll have 16 in a class and then you’ll get a family of triplets later in the year. Then, you have 19,” said Helen Muir, district assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction. “When that happens, several classes are over by just one or two children.” The district school board responded to the problem last week, approving a class size reduction compliance plan CHRIS DEVITTO/Palatka Daily News as outlined by state statutes. The plan Shirley Griffin, Jim Griffin, Joe Svingala, Joyce Svingala, Lynda Lindswiler, Pat Bergquist and Pomona Park Mayor John Bergquist Jr. are includes weekly enrollment counts in celebrating the 13th year of the Pomona Park Neighborhood Watch program. classes throughout the district begin- ning at the start of the 2016-2017 the Neighborhood Watch program Pomona Park Community Center. school year.
